Study reaffirms that masks prevent #COVID19 transmission - https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/07/19/jykb-j19.html “The study found that wearing an #N95 respirator resulted in the highest reduction in exhaled viral load at an average 98 percent decrease, significantly outperforming all other masks and respirators. #KN95 respirators reduced viral load by 71 percent, #ClothMasks by 87 percent, and #SurgicalMasks by 74 percent”

#Facemask effectiveness: What science knows now
Linsey Marr, a Virginia Tech University professor specializing in aerosol science, said her team aerosolized the #coronavirus, pulled it through a mask, and then examined how much virus survived on the mask. The study reported some viral particle remained on some #clothmasks, but no virus survived on the #N95 or #surgicalmasks.
